chorus: It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know. Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square, It's a long long way to Tipperary, But my heart lies there. Up to mighty London came An Irish lad one day, All the streets were paved with gold, So everyone was gay! Singing songs of Picadilly, Strand, and Leicester Square, 'Til Paddy got excited and He shouted to them there: It's a long way . . . . chorus Paddy wrote a letter To his Irish Molly O', Saying, "Should you not receive it, Write and let me know! If I make mistakes in "spelling", Molly dear", said he, "Remember it's the pen, that's bad, Don't lay the blame on me". It's a long way . . . . chorus Molly wrote a neat reply To Irish Paddy O', Saying, "Mike Maloney wants To marry me, and so Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, Or you'll be to blame, For love har fairly drove me silly, Hoping you're the same!" It's a long way . . . .
